Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Jackpot
“Hello, comrade.” Ling Yun greeted Li Chenmo first.

“Hello. Are you the new owner of this house?” Li Chenmo asked.

“Yeah, I just moved in yesterday and haven’t had time to visit the neighbors yet.” Ling Yun nodded and walked towards Li Chenmo.

The two were walking side by side and looked so similar, especially their tall figure, handsome features, and sharp eyes. The only difference may be their skin color. Li Chenmo’s complexion is fairer and he looks several years younger.

“My wife and I live in a house on the hill. My name is Li Chenmo.”

“You can call me Ling Yun. I live alone in that house.”

“Mhmm.” Li Chenmo nodded.

Both of them are men who treat their words like gold. So after a brief conversation, both of them fell silent. Arriving in the village office, Ling Yun said, “I need to report to the team leader first. Let’s have a drink together next time.””

“Alright.”

Ling Yun went to Han Yuheng to ask about where he was assigned to, while Li Chenmo continued walking north. The production team has five pieces of cultivated land, distributed in the north, east, west, south and center of the village.

Each year, farmland is divided according to the number of people in the production team. Each household is assigned to one of five farmland plots. When they complete their work, they receive work points based on the amount of work completed every day.

As for those who do not work in the fields, they can earn work points by collecting pigweed and handing it over to the production team. At least one person from each household needs to participate in field work.

As long as one family member is working in the field, other family members are free to participate or not. However, if they don’t work, they don’t get any work points. So under normal circumstances, everyone will join the field work to earn more work points. After all, more work points means more food.

At this moment, only Lu Jueyu and some women who had just given birth were left at home. But unlike her, other women still need to cook and do housework. After her husband left for work, Lu Jueyu walked up the mountain carrying a bamboo basket and a small hoe.

It had been a while since she last went to the mountains. She wanted to try her luck and find some good medicinal materials. Based on the author’s illogical world setting, she might be able to find precious medicinal herbs. Maybe, she can even find Ling Zhi.

In this era where medical knowledge and technology are not as advanced as in future generations, she needs to get more medicines in case she needs them. With this thought, she walked towards the mountain foothills.

As soon as she arrived at the mountain foothills, she saw many dryad’s saddle mushrooms. There were many dead trees in the mountain foothills, and the mushrooms were thriving. She quickly walked over and started picking mushrooms.

When the bamboo basket was full, she moved the mushrooms to her own space and continued picking mushrooms. She harvested only young mushrooms because mature mushrooms could be infested with maggots and become hard and rubbery.

Thirty minutes later, she finally harvested all the young mushrooms. Then she continued walking into the forest. Not long after, she saw clusters of chicken of the woods mushrooms. This mushroom is found in the eastern United States, with some found on the west coast of North America and Europe.

Lu Jueyu was speechless when she discovered this mushroom growing in the rainforest. It should grow in hardwood forests or the Rocky Mountains.

“Author, you really need to do some research. You can’t just throw everything into the mountains or the forest.” She said to herself.

Although she was speechless about the unreasonable things in this world, Lu Jueyu was still happy to find this mushroom. It tastes similar to chicken and is delicious when cooked. As before, after she gathered the mushrooms, she placed them in her own space.

She walked around the forest and found many fruit trees, mushrooms, medicinal herbs, staple foods, and even small animals, all of which she put into her own space. After exploring the mountains for five hours, she discovered a mountain river and decided to take a break.

Sitting on the boulder by the river, Lu Jueyu took out a bottle of orange juice from her own space and drank several sips in one breath. She lightly beat her legs and complained, “This body is too weak. I have only been climbing for a few hours and I already feel sore all over my body.”

While resting, she looked around and her eyes stopped at the roots of an old tree, where there were several huge mushroom caps. She blinked a few times and realized she wasn’t hallucinating. She walked quickly over to examine the mushrooms.

When viewed up close, the mushroom is reddish-brown and shaped like a kidney. She touched the mushroom lightly and felt the soft texture. The stem is 95 cm long and the cap is about 1.2 m in diameter.

“I hit the jackpot.” Lu Jueyu said in disbelief.

She didn’t expect that she would find such a big Ganoderma lucidum. Judging from its size, it may be over 1,000 years old.

She took a hoe and began to dig carefully. It took her nearly fifteen minutes to dig out the Ganoderma lucidum. After that, she quickly put it into her own space. Just when she thought she was lucky to find one Ganoderma lucidum, she saw more Ganoderma lucidum behind the old tree.

With a happy exclamation, she quickly harvested all the Ganoderma lucidum. Her forehead and back were covered with sweat, but she was content. After she placed the last Ganoderma lucidum into her space, she decided to return to her home. It’s almost time to prepare lunch for her husband.
